Thanks for the comments chaps. Good advice HTO, I’ll def get an app for Uber.

Great news, I’ve lost too many to it in the last year great to hear of someone beating the dreaded thing. Enjoy, I’ll be there myself if you fancy a pint? Taxi is probably your best option but it won’t be cheap Leopardstown is on the other side of the M50!

Cheers SeanRock, I don’t like been ripped off by airport taxis, but happy to pay for regular taxi. Always up for a pint! See nearer the time.

You might not have much choice if you’re restricted by time Magpie

Quickest way is Airport taxi that takes the motorway (m50) About 40 minutes

Could cost about 60 Euro,Not too bad if there’s a few sharing,Steep if you’re traveling solo

There is luggage storage facilities located beside the cloakroom

You’re luggage might be searched on entry to the course

Be careful if you’re returning on the Monday as it is an official Bank Holiday here which will affect public transport schedules and Taxi tariffs

Congrats on your good news,might see you there for a pint

Great stuff Magpie I was out with a few mates over the weekend and one has come through it recently as well. I'm booking in for a check up.

Thanks Twigs, I’d I would give any advice to anyone, it would be if you think something is not right, even if anyone feels embarrassed, get checked out. Docs have seen it all before. Thanks for the kind comments guys.
Onwards and upwards, and let take a few quid of those bookies. Even if I have to get the shotgun out ha.

Spot on. I had prostate cancer 6 years ago - fortunately it got picked up early so all good now. I was 53 at the time so not an old bloke's disease!

Clearly a very talented horse Kev, but a also a bit of a headcase that will have had a lot of time off when he comes back. They rarely come back the same horse after such a long layoff, and My Drogo will also me very inexperienced when he does so very hard to place.

Did anyone just see that at Auteuil? Hermes Baie jumping a hurdle before the race, crashes through it and taken out the race.

Nope, I thought that was a normal thing though taking a practice jump in France. Although probably not normal crashing out lol.

Yes it is normal but can't remember one of them falling. Jockey went into the ambulance..

Some bad riding in that race just then at Sandown.
Maxwell's arms turned to Jelly, and Bromley got the wrong finish post.
And Woods just thinking he was winding an imaginery wheel with his left hand and whip.

Kind of some good bits from all three though to be fair.

Still can't be arsed to do anything about the finish post siutuation at Sandown I see

 

[opatcho]

Sandown need to do better
Jockeys know this aswell, have chance to walk the course and most would have ran here plenty of times before... sort it out
I'd be screwing if I had backed call me lord

 

[Craigy14]

Megan Nicholls made a good point, just ride out to the second post every time.

Espeically if the course seem to be doing ‘hee haw’ about it!

I backed call me lord, thought he'd got beat but when jockey started patting the horse i thought maybe he has won it. Just sums up my luck !

screwing :highly_amused::highly_amused:
whilst shouting "call me lord"

Yeah, I blame the course mostly as you don't need 2 posts so close together near a bend after 3 miles slog and head down in battle.

I can't believe what I've just seen from Noble Yeats, it was as if they've just fast forwarded the TV watching him come off the pace to finish like that. Against Ahoy Senor at his favourite track, very impressive.
